Suzuki Grand Vitara evolves into an urban cross-country vehicle

Since its debut in 1988, the Suzuki Vitara has remained true to its development concept as an “urban cross-country vehicle.”  The first-generation Vitara made its mark with excellent off-road capabilities and automotive engineering,  thereby strengthening Suzuki’s reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance, fuel-efficient, and well-built workhorses.

From that original hardy off-roader, the current third-generation Suzuki Grand Vitara has evolved into a more refined performer that excels in a wide variety of situations.  In keeping with its urban cross-country concept, Suzuki engineers focused on improving the Grand Vitara’s efficient performance, practical urbanity, and ease of use.

For the Philippine market, the Suzuki Grand Vitara configuration is a 2.4L 4x2 AT model CBU from Japan, in response to the local demand for an SUV adapted to city driving while delivering both improved fuel efficiency and power.  This sports utility vehicle features a front-engine rear-wheel drive configuration mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission drive train.  It is powered by a fuel-efficient, 2.4L 16-valve gasoline engine that delivers maximum power of 164hp @ 6000rpm and maximum torque of 225Nm @ 4000rpm.  

Carrying on Suzuki’s traditional strong stance and engineering, the Suzuki Grand Vitara’s unibody construction delivers improved body rigidity, handling and safety.  In addition, it incorporates Suzuki’s built-in ladder frame design for enhanced durability. Four-wheel independent suspension with McPherson struts and multi-link rear suspension ensure riding comfort.  

A dignified exterior  with an edgy visual strength and presence, a new front grille and bumper design, as well as new, five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels make the Suzuki Grand Vitara a commanding yet refined presence on the road. 

The Suzuki Grand Vitara features a host of standard features not usually found in the compact SUV class.   Sure to delight audiophiles is a sophisticated audio system with MP3 playback, front auxiliary jack and 4 speakers and steering wheel mounted controls.  A fully-automatic climate control system provides utmost comfort even during the hottest summer days.  Power windows, power door locks, power side mirrors and keyless entry are standard.  The new meter cluster incorporates an information center that gives you the time, temperature, fuel consumption and fuel range.  

In the Philippines, the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.4L 4x2 AT is offered in three colors — Bluish Black 3, Silky Silver Metallic, and Pearl White.  It is attractively priced at P1,275,000, and is available from a network of 19 Suzuki automobile dealers nationwide.
